    Thanks guys :)

    A couple more dvds sold overnight so another small payment today. Will maybe do another one later.

    I've been thinking that I might try and raise enough to cover our Council Tax and Water rates for the whole year rather than paying monthly. I'll have a couple of months to do that, so will see what I can do. It will mean that I won't have to worry about them when I'm on low/no income, which will be a good thing. That's likely to be roughly £2k for both, so should be doable.

    The weather is not looking too bad at the moment, so we are going to carry on at home today, and hopefully go booting tomorrow. I'm still contemplating selling at one, but we shall see.

    Hope everyone has a good weekend :)

    Well done on the sale Brizzle. I've not really got anything on amazon at the moment, I pulled most of it off a while ago as it wasn't shifting.

    I've pretty much caught up with surveys today. Pretty disappointed to be screened out of a £15 one :( Not too far off redeeming on a couple which is good.

    I've also been trying to have a shift around of some stuff downstairs to see what is there to be listed/got rid of. I've got an old computer to go, need to figure out how to wipe it. Thinking I'll just see if I can remove the hard drive, save having to try and connect it up.

    DH has also been busy, he is off doing a charity shop run at the moment with 2.5 black sacks full of soft toys from the loft. Most of them are pretty good brands so hopefully they can flog them on. He's also given 2 bags of needlework items to a neighbour so hopefully they can make use of it all.

    We've both got bids on stuff going out this weekend, so more will be leaving.

    Hope everyone is having a good one :)

    Lots of sales over the weekend so at the moment 20 parcels going out today. Still a couple to pay up as well.

    We did do the car boot yesterday and cleared a fair amount of stuff so that was good. Sold much more than expected.

    A box of books to go to charity and a bag of clothing to recycling.

    Hope everyone had a good weekend, will be back later with a payment I expect.
